Still warm and humid but at least it was cloudy today. I did a med - long run today and wanted to do the last few miles at MP. I felt pretty good but then got the side stitch again like yesterday after a mile or so. It wasn't as bad as yesterday and went away around 6 miles. After 8 miles I started picking up the pace and ended up running a progression run for the next four miles in: 7:41, 7:35, 7:23, 7:23. These miles were all into a pretty good wind. This is the first time that I have done this type of run at the end of a longer run on tired legs. I still feel like something is not quite right because the legs still don't have it like they did a few weeks ago. I just feel like this pace should be a lot easier than it currently is.
